WEARING OF MASKS
Due to the ongoing high number of COVID-19, Influenza, and other respiratory illnesses in our community, we ask all patients aged 12 and over, doctors, and staff to continue to wear masks while attending our clinic. These measures are in place to keep our clinic teams healthy and at work so we can continue to open and offer patient appointments. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
CORONAVIRUS HEALTH ALERT
We are currently experiencing an unprecedented demand for our service due to COVID-19. For the safety of GPs, staff, and patients, we require all patients and staff to wear a face mask while in the clinic. We also observe social distancing >1.5m and limit the number of patients in our waiting room.
HAVE YOU TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID-19?
If you recently tested positive for COVID-19, please
visit the Tasmanian Government website for up-to-date health advice on how to report and manage your illness.
ANTIVIRAL MEDICATION
If you have tested positive and would like to access antiviral treatment, please confirm your eligibility at

If you are unwell, have respiratory symptoms and a negative COVID-19 test, please arrange a telephone appointment with a GP, and a safe face-to-face review will be arranged, if required.
For your safety and convenience, we encourage telephone or video appointments (where possible). The Government has restricted Medicare GP telehealth items to circumstances where a patient has confirmed COVID-19 and is required to isolate under a state directive, or where there is an existing relationship with a general practice (i.e., the patient has visited a GP in the practice face-to-face in the last 12 months), children aged under 12 months, or patients who are homeless.
Please be aware that telephone or video consults may incur a private fee.
Call 000 if you need urgent medical assistance.
